AdClaw Host is the hosted runtime: we run, wake, sleep, back up, and secure your AdClaw sandbox. Citedy credits are separate and are used only when you buy or top up content-generation credits.
For solo testing, demos, and light campaigns where a 1-2 minute wake-up is acceptable.
For active operators who want managed hosting, predictable sleep policy, and production demos.
For client-facing workflows, teams, and agencies that need tighter operational limits.
Base plans auto-sleep. This is intentional cost protection. If you need a runtime that does not sleep, buy a keep-warm add-on after checkout. Citedy credits are not included in Host runtime pricing and can be topped up separately.
